Pros:

La situation de l'établissement est parfaite,
L'établissement est clair et propre.

Juste un petit bémol sur les escaliers qui sont un peu délicats à appréhender par des personnes à mobilité réduite

Perfect place to stay
Pros:

The location was perfect for an overnight stay before proceeding further into France. It was very close to the ferry port, and had a free car park a short walk away (free for 48 hours). It was also very close to the shops. Amazing view of the theatre whilst having breakfast. The apartment was very inviting and homely. It was equipped with everything you could think of. I will definitely recommend staying here.

Cons:

I can't find anything to dislike.

An exceptional stay in a great location and excellent value
Pros:

The place is more like a town house rather than apartment. The facilities within the accommodation are amazing. It is in a great location with an exceptional view of the theatre, especially at Christmas time.

Cons:

There is not anything we didn’t like. We loved the place and would stay again.

Beautiful, comfortable and easy reach to the channel tunnel
Pros:

The apartment is beautiful! Very well equipped, comfortable and within easy reach of the channel tunnel. The owners even put up a Christmas tree for our arrival which was a lovely added touch! My children also really appreciated the use of a Nintendo switch after a long day travelling.

Cons:

The only issue we had was the stairs. Stair gates may help? Or added handrails and motion sensor lighting.

Eine wirklich tolle Unterkunft
Pros:

Eine sehr sauberes, bestens ausgestattetes Haus in dem man sich rundherum wohl fühlt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Cons:

Die wenigen Mankos sind, wenn man wirklich sucht, dass man wirklich erst um Punkt 17.00 Uhr die Unterkunft betreten kann und dass es im Haus mit der Treppe etwas schwierig sein kann (Schlafzimmer eine Etage höher als WC und es gibt mehrere Treppenabsätze)
